A few weeks had passed since the incident. Amethyst and Shane were hardly talking. Vince had approached Amethyst on the Jeff concept and she was happy to show Vince the stuff she had written and the graphics she had made. He loved it, all except for one part. He wanted Jeff to debut with a diva, or a valet, but they couldn't think of anyone to work with him.

"Amethyst I'm thinking of having you debut with Jeff."

"Vince I'm not a wrestler and me facing people, not a good thing."

"Just think it over, we could do with more female talent and I think you would be a great addition. If you agree to it we can get you some basic training before Jeff comes back. Enough to make sure you can hold a decent match."

Amethyst sighed and ran her hand through her hair. It was a tempting offer, but she didn't know if she could keep up with everything.

"What about my job now? Do I keep it or lose it?"

"If you think you can still handle being a full time designer as well as wrestler then keep it, if not work a few days a week, whatever you like."

"Shane won't like this and I think you are doing this so Shane will talk to me, well lecture me."

"No I'm doing this because I have the perfect character in line, you and Jeff will be lovers, he said if he was to resign with us we had to bring you too, and it was a package deal. So we bring you into the spotlight, you have a few inter gender matches to see how the fans react, then we go from there."

"Vince, I want to meet with Jeff, if I'm going to do this then I want to know the guy I'm going to be teamed up with, especially if we are going to be lovers."

"Fine, he's here now, so come have an early night and meet with him and we go from there."

Nodding Amethyst stood up and felt light headed, quickly she sat back down as the color drained from her face.

"Amethyst are you feeling ok?"

"Actually, not really, I don't know what's wrong; can you grab me a bottle of water please?"

"Sure, wait here I'll bring Jeff and water to you."

"Thank you Vince."

Smiling Vince walked out and returned a few moments later with Jeff and a bottle of water. Amethyst grabbed it and took a mouthful as Shane walked in.

"Amethyst why are you on a break? I have you working on a very important project."

"Shane she isn't feeling well right now. Amethyst when was the last time you ate?"

"A few days ago, Shane's had me on an extremely short leash, I work all day and night here then I go to the hotel room and work most nights till early in the morning, I haven't slept or eaten in almost a week."

"Pack your things dear, you have three days off, tonight you and Jeff can talk about storylines and such, make sure you eat and get some sleep."

"Vince I can't do that, I need to finish this."

"What are you working on?"

"Something for Shane, he didn't go into specifics. I dunno what it's for."

"I don't care; I over rule Shane so go."

Sighing and trying not to cry Amethyst stood and immediately fell down landing in Jeff's lap, his arms shot around her and grabbed her before she could fall to the floor.

"Jeff! Oh my, I'm sorry."

"It's fine, Vince can you send her things to the hotel? I want to get her in bed and rested, we can go over storylines tomorrow."

Vince looked at them and nodded. Jeff stood and picked Amethyst up and started walking out as Shane's temper grew. Once out of ear shot Vince turned his attention to his son.

"How fucking dare you treat her like a slave. You have seen the shit that has happened to her before she started working here. I swear to god Shane I am getting close to taking this away from you."

"Oh shut up dad. I wasn't working her that hard."

"She almost passed out she hasn't eaten or slept. You are worse then the monster she lived with. You will leave her alone during her days off; better yet you will leave her alone all together. The only time you talk to her is at work; apart from that she is off limits to you."

"Jesus fucking Christ dad you're acting as if I'm taking her to an early grave."

"You almost did."

Both are too busy fighting they don't see Steph standing at the door.

"Will you both shut up? Fucking hell, Amethyst passed out as Jeff was taking her to the car, I really hope you're happy Shane you have ruined her emotionally and you have successfully worn her out mentally. I really hope she gives you a piece of her mind, but knowing her the way I do she won't she will be here tomorrow morning working like a damn slave. Now if you will excuse me, I'm off, I told Jeff I'd grab dinner and the three of us would talk. Goodbye!"

Shane swore under his breath as Steph stormed off. He had done it again. He sat down at the computer and put in one of Amethyst's disks. His eyes grew wide when he realized the one he put in was her journal. He looked up as his father walked out then went to read it.

God am I really this desperate to get away from him? I mean I've tried everything but nothing works. He hit me again today, because I wore the wrong shirt. I really hope I can find a job soon; otherwise I'm stuck to living on the streets, something I don't think I can really do. If I don't get away soon I know I'm going to die.

Shane read on wiping away a stray tear that ran down his face.

I done it, I'm sitting in a coffee shop three towns away from home. I finally ran from him. God I can't believe I done this. He won't find me, I'm getting rid of my blonde hair tomorrow and going back to my natural color. My interview with Vince is in a few days, I fly out tomorrow. I really hope I get this, I need the money. I've been talking to his son a lot on the phone, he knows my situation, and I hope he doesn't give me the job out of pity. I just need to live again. Hopefully I get the chance to feel once again, instead of this numbness that is inside of me.

Shane took the disk out and put it back in her bag, getting up he grabbed her things then went and got Jeff's bag before walking out to the car park and getting into the families limo. Steph must have taken Amethyst's rental since she had passed out. Sighing once again he waited until the reached the hotel then went up to her floor. He stood outside the door for a few moments, listening to her laugh at one of Jeff's jokes, he softly knocked and walked off leaving the bags there, he didn't notice Jeff opening the door and seeing him walk away.

"Jeff who is it?"

"Someone dropped off our stuff, so if you want I can leave now."

"No you can crash here if you want, I'm having fun."

"Same."

Jeff walked back into the room and grinned, Amethyst was standing there in only a baggy top. Her hair was down and a proper smile was on her face. He walked over and hugged her as she handed him a glass of coke. She went back to the bed and laid down as she poked at the food Steph had brought them.

"Ugh, no offence to Steph, but this ain't my deal. If I was going to eat fast food I would not get KFC."

"Come on AJ, haven't you had this before?"

"Not really, I wasn't allowed to eat much junk food. He said I looked fat so he had me on a strict diet."

"Damn babe, I'm sorry bout that. Just try it I'm sure you will like."

Amethyst smiled and began to eat; it didn't take long for the entire lot of food to disappear between the two of them. Amethyst stretched out on the bed and sighed, she was full and it felt good.

"What did Shane have you working on?"

"I'm not exactly sure. Some of it I don't know how to do so I'm teaching myself. Everything else has been a breeze."

"Are you going to do this story line?"

"Honestly after talking to you and getting to know you, I'm almost ready to say yes, I want to see Vince about something before I give a final answer."

"Cool, it's gonna be good to be back, it sucks that I have another month before I see a live crowd and wrestle."

"Vince wants to pump your return, that's why it's all happening at the ppv. I'm not sure who you are against, but if we have promo's and stuff happening for you then a lot of people will book it and the buy rate will go up."

"I know I'm just itching to get back out there. I've still got my music to concentrate on, but the good thing is I'll be able to do both and get away with it."

Amethyst laughed and looked at the clock before she knew it she was yawning.

"Come on into bed for you. I'll go down to my room so I'll see you in the morning."

"Ok, I'm sorry bout all this Jeff. I guess I must have left a weird impression."

"No I understand the fact you are burnt out, hell you ain't been here all that long and look at you, already running yourself into the ground. Just get some rest, I'll come by tomorrow sometime, or you can call me when you're awake."

"Sure I got your number, so I'll ring. Night Jeff."

"Night AJ. Sleep well."

Jeff turned and walked out quietly as Amethyst got under the covers and fell asleep, the next thing she knew it was midday and she was shocked she had slept so long. Jumping out of bed she raced around to find clothes and to call Jeff.

"Jeff answer your phone. God damn voice mail. Jeffers its AJ. I'm heading to the arena I need to see Vince, call me when you get this. Catch ya."

Heading off towards the lobby Amethyst sighed, she would have to see Shane and tell him what her decision was. That was the only thing she dreaded. She knew Shane would go mental at her. Shrugging her shoulders she got into her car and left. Once in the arena she headed right to Vince's office and sat down waiting for him to come.

"Amethyst what a surprise, I thought I told you not to come in for the next few days."

"You did say that Vince and I'm not going against your word, I just came to talk about the job offering."

Smiling Vince lead her into his office where they sat down, clearing her throat she felt suddenly nervous.

"Vince I want three days training before I give you my answer. I want to see if I can handle it before giving you a definite answer. I hope you can understand."

"I understand completely. I take it you and Jeff get along?"

"Yea, he's a great guy. So do I have to sign any legal papers?"

"You can do them tomorrow; go back to the hotel and rest. See you then."

"When are we going to tell Shane?"

"We won't until we know if you are going to do this or not."

"Cool. Well I'm off see you tomorrow Vince."

Amethyst stood and walked out of the office and drove back to the hotel. Once in her room she laid down and fell asleep for the entire day.
